Reading edition

Brunck, Analecta Vol. III. p. 334.,

Δημώναξ, μὴ πάντα κάτω βλέπε, μηδὲ χαρίζου τῇ γλώσση· δεινὴν χοῖρος ἄκανθαν ἔχει. Καὶ συζῇς ἡμῖν. ἐν Φοινίκῃ δὲ καθευδεις, κοὐκ ὢν ἐκ Σεμέλης μηροτραφὴς γεγόνας.

(Demonax, be not for ever looking downwards, and be not complacent with your tongue; that organ—the pudenda muliebria—has a sharp thorn. And indeed you live with us, but you sleep in Phoenicia, and though no child of Semelé, are thigh-bred).

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
